I have had these tyres fitted to my car for one day. I have been had by the tyre shop guy. He told me they were a high performance tyre. The grip in dry is not great, it will wheelspin even in 3rd gear if pushed. The sidewall is very soft and makes the rear unstable when accelerating or cornering at speed. The rear of the car now wallows. I was just going to chalk it up to experience and deal with the poor performance. Until the road got damp. It was just damp road without rain. I coasted around a corner without brake or accelerator. The back completely slid out. I have never driven with tyres so bad in my life. Acceleration in the wet has to be done so slowly else you just lose traction. I will have to take them off and get proper tyres fitted, without question as soon as it gets wet these tyres are deadly. Stay well away.

Looked everywhere for a good set for the rear and saw these at a local fitter. Thought I'll give em a go as wet grip was rated A and fuel consumption rated B.
I went round a roundabout at 20mph on a damp road, and felt the back sliding out. Nearly crapped myself. Also I drove up the M1 the day after fitting them, the car was tramlining, twitching all over the place. Maybe it's cos the fronts need replacing soon, but never done that on my old worn out tyres. Gonna take them off and get nokian or vredestrian.
Don't buy.

Great tires....for the desert! I drive them on my BMW 320D on the rear Axle.
When the streets are wet, its like Im driving in ice! No grip!

I wouldnt buy them again. Better spend a bit more money and buy benchmark tires.

Update from previous post: Great tires!, Now have them broken in with 3000 miles and much smoother ride that when new. They are the extra load version so is likely why longer breakin needed. Very comfortable big car ride relatively speaking for a Nissan Cube. Much better than old Toyo OEM tires. No wind buffeting issues anymore. We just had lots of snow and performed as well as you could ask for a 2wd car. Deep tread is helpful. Will post again after 10000 miles.

So far.. great tires. 1k miles. More aggressive tread than my last tires. Tread is also deeper. Noise is slightly more but not in an intrusive way. Lateral grip is great as mine are the XL (extra load) version. I have a Nissan Cube. I went up one size from stock 195 as there was plenty of room. Ride is so much better. Rides like a bigger car and much more controlled especially in windy conditions. Tire looks good. They incorporate rim protection in the bead. I gave pretty high rating for wet as deep tread helps with hydroplaning. Stopping is fine. No complaints there. Price was great too. $256us with shipping. $56 total at Walmart for mount/bal/recycle fee.
Claim is 50k mile warranty. They look up to the task. We'll see.
